Abstract: 1382747 Scintillation scanner PICKER CORP 21 May 1973 [23 June 1972] 24097/73 Heading H4F A boom (22, Fig. 1, not shown), which carries a scintillation probe (17) and is reciprocally moved to provide line and frame scan of e.g. a patient, is mechanically coupled to the movable arm of a potentiometer P-1 which thus provides a signal indicative of the position along a line scan of the probe, this signal being compared in comparators 28, 30 with pre-set "left" and "right" limit signals in respective counters C-1, C-2, detected equality causing, via control circuit 23, termination of that line scan, incrementation of the boom in the frame scan direction, and start of a line scan in the opposite direction. The desired "left" limit signal is set in counter C-1 by setting the boom at the desired "left limit" position and depressing key LS-1. This causes re-set of counters 34-44 which form counter C-1 and sets a flip-flop FF-1, which allows counter C-1 to count pulses from a multivibrator O-1. When the input to comparator 28 fed from the output of counter C-1 via an amplifier 24 is equal to the signal from potentiometer P-1, comparator 28 produces an output which resets flip-flop FF-1 to stop the counting of counter C-1. The desired "right" limit signal is similarly set in counter C-2 by setting the boom at the desired "right limit" position and depressing key RS-1.

Abstract: 1,167,650. Automatic exchange systems. SIEMENS A.G. 26 May, 1967 [27 May, 1966], No. 24558/67. Heading H4K. In an exchange system in which the busy/free conditions of the crosspoints or links in the exchange's switching network are stored in a central memory (memory map), the contents of the latter are updated only in response to actual operations in the network and not merely in response to the selection of crosspoints (route finding). As a variation, the contents may be updated immediately after a selection but they are then revised in the light of what actually occurs when an attempt is made to operate the selected crosspoints. If there is any faulty operation and after the memory has been correspondingly updated, a new attempt at setting up a connection is made. After a path has been selected, its constituent links are tested before the path is cut-through. The links may be tested individually or simultaneously using a magnetic core array whose windings are linked on the one hand to single-shot multivibrators and on the other, possibly via decoupling diodes, to the links.
